  1. to the forum Joe For spares, eBay is usually your best bet or put a wanted ad in this forum. need pictures or you don't have one

  4. so your not on yer tod then looks fun, was camping all weekend
  5. I have a set for the fz600 and like them. you can get short or long versions. If your having trouble with leverage, Id get the long ones. buy them from aliexpress, way cheaper but takes longer to get here http://www.aliexpress.com/af/fz6-brake-lever.html?ltype=wholesale&d=y&origin=n&isViewCP=y&catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20160229131735&SearchText=fz6+brake+lever

    Project hakka

    with the slugs being solid, there will be no "give" in that part of the frame. You may find the frame fracturing where the slug ends inside the tubing. I would still drill the outer frame over the slugs so you can get some weld onto the slug there or you will get movement when the frame flexes

    hopefully hollow ones. really needs holes drilled and weld filled too onto the slugs
